"How's the painting going? Do you want to take a break?"
The sketch teacher raised his chin and asked casually, while the fingers hidden in his pocket kept flexing and stretching.
Art practitioners’ knuckles are severely worn or suffer from tenosynovitis, which is about to become a common occupational disease.
For illustrators with a relatively heavy workload, I heard that there are some who have specially trained their left hand to draw left and right.
If your left hand hurts, switch to your right hand; if your right hand hurts, switch to your left hand.
Just thinking about it is filled with the blood and tears of hardworking workers.
The second joint of Professor Watter’s right index finger was a little excessively worn and he went to the hospital to take a X-ray.
Fortunately, it is not at the level of arthritis or synovitis, and the effusion is not serious enough to require additional treatment.
Doctors suggest that daily hot compresses and massage are enough.
He concentrated on practicing sketching and drawing lines in front of his desk for more than ten minutes. When I draw from life, I pay attention to freehand brushwork and lightness. When I imitate the lines of other people's works, it is a laborious task.
No need to use force to see through the back of the paper.
It is also best to write accurately and steadily, firmly and smoothly, reproducing the transitional and rounded lines of other painters on the paper on the paper.
After Vettel practiced a few shots, his fingers began to feel a little sore.
The soreness of muscles and joints is just soreness, but the spirit is still quite pleasant.
True.
High school teachers and even ordinary painters may not be able to make more money with a slight improvement in their painting skills.
But any art practitioner who has a little bit of pursuit and sees himself painting a better work will feel happy.
Professor Wattel is so far away from the art center and is no longer in his prime years of "promoting painting". He is a professional painter with neither high nor low standards. How difficult is it to improve his skills? What's the matter?
It has been a long, long time since he felt visible progress in the pencil lines before and after practicing on a piece of work.
Although.
This "visible to the naked eye" progress is not significant.
Critics with better eyesight can roughly, roughly, and estimate that after careful consideration, there may be a small improvement in line skills, which may even be regarded as a normal fluctuation in the performance of a painter.
Converted to the experience value on the system panel, it has increased by more than a dozen points, with a total improvement of no more than 20 points.
But Professor Wattel knows very well that if you improve, you will improve.
No matter how small the progress is, it is solid progress.
“It’s so cool”
Not everyone is Picasso. He can be divided into six or seven different painting periods in his life, and he can still make breakthroughs in painting style in old age. .
At Vattel’s age, he is an ordinary practitioner without pursuit.
What is the point of making progress?The next step is to cheat.
Don’t say they can’t be called a hundred-foot leader.
It is not easy to maintain the original length of a ten-foot bamboo strip. As soon as many people leave school, they are already swimming against the current, and have reached the stage of decline in their skills of "if you don't advance, you will retreat".
In his later years, Reannault changed his career to portraying the body of unclothed girls.
Huddled in his country villa, he drew various girls with and without clothes every day.
Many critics complained that his painting style had become vulgar and boring, and that he had changed from the unique Renoir to the second Rubens.
However, there are also sympathetic scholars who speculate that this is because his arthritis and gout became more and more severe in his later years, which reduced his ability to control his pen, and his writing skills were no longer able to support his early years. The painting method is full of delicate short lines.
Even a teenager like Gu Weijing, whose physical functions are at their peak.
When faced with the bottleneck of the last few hundred points of the first level of professional painter, he was also tortured to death. He spent a long time painting by the lake, and his experience bar didn't even give him face, so he couldn't make any move.
Now that he is going against the trend of increasing age, how can he not feel so happy?
He feels the long-lost excitement and joy when he was learning painting when he was young. It feels as if the lost time is starting to flow back again in his writing.
Full of the desire to show off to someone, he strolled over.
Vettel stood at the door, stretched his varicose palms, and then put his palms against his hips and pressed down gently. Amid the slight pain, he heard the small air cavities between his finger joints, as if he were holding a handful of soybeans. Slowly rubbing and squeezing, with that subtle popping sound, fully stretches the finger muscles.
It’s a pity, no matter what you think in your mind.
The student looking for an apartment said, "I copied your painting, and my technique improved instantly. Your lines are very good, and now it is mine."
It seems that The scene is a bit embarrassing when I think about it.
This made it impossible for Professor Vatel, a German who was rigid on the outside but sullen on the inside, to fully vent his desire for expression.
"Fortunately, there has been significant improvement and rapid progress." Gu Weijing nodded.
“My training methods are useful, as long as they improve, that’s the essence of my teaching, which is to allow every student to slowly begin to feel improvement and progress through accumulated training over time. "
Vettel's praise of Gu Weijing is quite useful.
He nodded vigorously, thought about it, and hummed slightly.
Significantly improved
Oh, young man.
Watercolor practice is similar to drawing and painting grids. They are both repetitive ink skills of painting one stroke at a time, just like doing radio gymnastics in the morning.
I don’t know the effectiveness of my teaching methods
It is effective, but it is also slow to show results.
General art student initial stageYou need to practice for at least a month before you can slowly become familiar with the brush during the flat painting process.
Only by repeatedly practicing strokes and applying, and having a general judgment on the way the paint spreads and flows, can you gradually stabilize your fingers.
After only ten minutes of painting, I said that I have mastered it. Hey, young people have a loud mouth.
Why doesn’t he go to heaven?
The so-called Internet meme "How dare you use my curse to attack me, Potter" Gu Weijing used the painting method created by Professor Wattel to talk about the rapid progress.
It's quite humorous.
Although it was a polite compliment, the sketching professor himself blushed a little.
I just learned from you to practice hooking outside. That kind of progress is called obvious improvement, and you practicing flat painting here does not count.
"I think it's a good thing to make progress. Don't be in a hurry. Just do one good deed every day and make a little progress every day."
Vettel strolled over and said with a smile, squinting. He glanced at Gu Weijing twice.
"This kind of painting method is always practiced and always new. When you have nothing to do, just pick up the pen and paint two strokes. There is no harm. Feel the gravity more. Feel the flow of paint, and Mother Earth will open her arms to embrace you."
Watter picked up the paintbrush.
"Come on, let me give you two more strokes to demonstrate. I just explained it in a hurry. You may not know yet what the benchmark for flat painting practice is and what kind of results you want to get. Only the strokes can be regarded as good flat painting."
The sketch teacher took the watercolor pen in his right hand, still put his left hand confidently in his pocket, raised his chin, and motioned to Gu Weijing to step aside and finish his work. Make way for him in front of the stage.
Concentrate and hold your breath, lower your head and pick up the pen gracefully.
Professor Vatel looked at the almost completed coloring exercise on the tilted workbench.
The sketch teacher has one hand in his pocket and the other holding a pen. His neck is tilted 45 degrees to the lower right and he is staring at the drawing board. In this photo, he really looks like an artist.
Strange.
After Vattle posed for five seconds, he quietly put down the pen again.
"Uh, Gu, have you ever practiced flat painting before?" Professor Watter turned his head and looked at Gu Weijing beside him. He glanced at it, then looked at it again, and finally his whole body twisted. come over.
It’s because I am familiar with watercolor.
Vettel found it even more incredible.
As soon as the expert takes action, he will know whether there is coloring in the last one-third or so of the water covered bridge.
The strokes should be soft, light, and smooth.
The weight of the entire brush strokes is just right, not so exaggerated that it looks like it was drawn with a ruler and pen.
But it’s very smooth.
Especially.
Judging from the lower edge of the last stroke of paint flowing and spreading,The entire brush stroke is on a smooth straight line, and the diffusion and flow of the entire paint are almost the same, which means that the painter's wrist force is extremely stable.
Flat painting is the most basic painting method in watercolor.
Vettel draws it himself. In fact, it is difficult for such simple lines to be significantly improved.
"No, no, no."
Before Gu Weijing could say anything, Vatel himself had already shaken his head.
Based on his teaching experience, it is clear that Gu Weijing’s strokes and lines when he first painted still had obvious ups and downs and color differences. He was the kind of art student who was not proficient in controlling watercolor pens on paper. The most common expression on the face.
This kind of performance improves rapidly in the process of laying out the watercolor corridor bridge on the paper in gray and white tones.
Even the word visible to the naked eye may not be able to accurately summarize this kind of speed of improvement.
It is the kind of situation where ordinary people who have never had any contact with it will clearly feel that the first half and the second half of the covered bridge were not painted by the same artist at all.
It’s really weird.
As we all know.
The stage where a person's skills improve most rapidly is often when he or she has just come into contact with a certain painting method. A final paper can make a student with a normal IQ improve from 0 to 10 very quickly. .
In some schools, you still get 3 points if you write your name in the correct position.
The problem is that Gu Weijing didn’t put much energy into the watercolor class, but he was not a beginner at all. The improvement he showed on paper is not a 90- to 100-point improvement, but a 50- to 60-point qualitative change.
At the beginning.
Gu Weijing is obviously still unfamiliar with the dissolution and diffusion of watercolor paint, and the lines in his brush are very tight. And the last few strokes, free and easy, have already reached the standard level of this kind of coloring practice.
Mr. Wattle originally thought that no matter how talented he was, it would feel very good to get started.
It takes three weeks to a month of practice to draw to this level.
Now, the changes and evolutions that ordinary people can achieve after dozens of days of practice are all condensed onto the same drawing paper in front of them.
The sketch teacher feels that this world is really outrageous.
If he hadn’t taught Gu Weijing for many years, he would have some understanding of this student, especially since the other party didn’t have any reason to do this.
He even suspected that Gu Weijing came here today to ask for advice on watercolor. He came here specifically to act in it
ait
If this was not to act in it , could it be that
his painting teaching method is so unreliable, but he has never developed its full effectiveness
Watter's heart trembled when he thought of a possibility.
Could it be that Vattel could have become a great professor in the watercolor department of the Royal Academy of Arts, but instead came to Germany to study in Germany?Private schools like Weiwei have been overshadowed by pearls.
"Oh, by the way, how did I teach you?"
The sketching professor was in a trance, recalling all the conversations he had with Gu Weijing at noon today, thinking, he is He didn't inadvertently say a certain "open sesame" sentence, which is enough to be recorded in the history of art education, but he himself inadvertently ignored it and forgot it
Crack
The finger was The waist was pressed too hard, and the cartilage of the knuckles made a crisp sound.
Professor Vatel felt a little pain and hurriedly pulled his fingers out of his pocket, ignoring the pain. He looked at his palms and then at the drawing board in front of him.
I can’t wait to do a set of flat painting exercises right away.
This thing is so amazing and the effect is so good
“I have never practiced watercolor flat painting.”
Gu Weijing’s voice interrupted Vattel’s thoughts “However, I have a background in soft pens, and I think this experience has helped me a lot.”
“A foundation in soft pens”
Wattel He was stunned again.
Chinese painting and Japanese painting are independent painting routes. Many European universities also offer similar courses, but if you are not an art student who is dedicated to the research direction of oriental art.
Normal European and American students have no access to similar art theories.
In addition, there is no concept of calligraphy in German history.
Traditionally they also use nylon brushes with soft bristles, but that is only a necessary tool for oil painting or watercolor.
Walter didn’t quite understand what the soft pen foundation meant.
Gu Weijing thought for a while.
He picked a small-sized chicken pen from the painting supplies.
The chicken-tip pen is a type of watercolor pen. It has long bristles in the middle and short outer bristles. The whole tip is olive-shaped. It can be used to spread color when painting flatly, or when typing. If you draw details on a good background, it has a wide range of applications.
The only difference between its shape and the brush is that its tip is slightly fatter than the traditional brush.
Other than that, nothing else.
A lot of the time.
The easy-to-use brush and the chicken-spacing pen can be used interchangeably.
Gu Weijing dipped some paint into the blank space of the watercolor paper with a chicken-tip pen, and with a few strokes, he sketched a gray-white rose flower. After thinking about it, he used regular script The words "Gu Weijing" were written next to it.
"Here, teacher, look. This is the foundation of the soft pen,"
Gu Weijing showed that what he said was true.
A person who scores points in calligraphy appreciation.
Cao Xuan looked down upon Gu Weijing's calligraphy skills very much. He wanted to have no bones, no body, no sinews, so he called him a black-ink pig.
Vettel was shocked.
What is this?
It seemed like everyone was practicing fencing together. Just now, this guy was learning to thrust and block, and in an instant, he danced with the tip of his sword.A standard six-pointed star came out. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
